Refilling Fire Extinguishers
A Fire extinguisher is a passive product that needs to stay in a ready state at every point of time. Because a fire, though unlikely, can happen at any time.When your fire extinguisher has been used, even partially, you need to go for refill.
Refilling Process:
1. The Fire Extinguisher is manually discharged and emptied.
2. The extinguisher is then dismantled completely; cylinder is de-stressed. 3. The cylinder then is made to undergo a Hydro Static Pressure Test at 30kgf cm sq. for 2 minutes to check for leaks and the burst capacity.
4. New extinguishing agent (powder, gas, water or foam) is filled in the cylinder through a vacuum based process that fills the cylinder with exact quantity of extinguishing agent.
5. Fire extinguisher is charged (pressurized) with pure nitrogen.
